Instruments

Instruments are items that produce distinct notes or sounds when used by the player via the ⚒ Use / Attack button. Most are pure novelty items, but some have functional effects. The pitch/note played is usually controlled by the distance between the center of the character and the location of the cursor when ⚒ Use / Attack was pressed. On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, playing musical instruments now shows the note on the cursor.

There are eight playable instruments in the game.

Guitars

When using any of the three following guitars, the player strums a chord.

• Ivy(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
• Rain Song(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
• Stellar Tune(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)

This content is transcluded from Instruments/Guitar chords.In order from closest to furthest away from the player, the chords played are as follows: G major – A minor – B minor – C major – D major – E minor. When the item is selected in the hotbar, the chord the instrument will currently play will be displayed underneath the cursor.

Other instruments

When using any of the following instruments, a specific note or sound is played.

• Bell
• Drum Set(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
• Harp
• Magical Harp
• The Axe

The Drum Set is not played directly, unlike the other instruments. Instead, it requires a player using a Drumstick while standing in front of it.

On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, The Axe plays a random note each time.

Trivia

• All guitar-type instruments are acquired as a drop.
• Pianos cannot be played as instruments, and only function as furniture.
• Unlike Music Boxes, these instruments are used by the player, and do not provide background music.
